" Hey Hey hey! " The brunette shook her arms. – No what if… Don't paint scary scenes in your little head! They end up becoming monsters! Go and just open up to Ethan. I'm sure he will welcome you with open arms. And when I find out you're coming with a freebie... " Norah smirked.“That's what terrifies me, Norah! What will he think? He trusted that I was safe... I don't even know what happened!"But it happened and that's it!" Now go and don't forget to update me as soon as you get it right, ok?"Okay. Wish me luck!"“With Ethan? " the other snorted. " You do not need!She smiled, exchanging a last hug with her friend.She called Ethan's office and was told he was home. Even better. He headed there, barely controlling the chill in his stomach. Luckily, the nausea seemed to have subsided.Ethan sighed. He had done his best not to break everything in his apartment as soon as he entered. He'd had a few shots of whiskey and then the longest shower of his life. She hadn't even called. Make
“You know what they say about a broken heart? " Mark said, holding his beer.He, plus Erick and Lucas, Mark's partner, had dragged Ethan to Tom's bar to try to cheer up.As he stared listlessly at his fourth bottle of beer, Ethan was sure this was the worst day of his life. To think that he wouldn't see Alexis at the end of it...it took his breath away. It made his chest ache, as if a fist had closed tight around his heart."You have to clean your palate!" Mark went on. – You have a lot of Alexis in you! I saw this on How I met your mother!“God, are you getting advice from a TV show, Mark? " Lucas laughed." Mark's stuff... " Erick murmured, between a sip.“Hey, it's a hit series, okay? Otherwise, it wouldn't be on the air for so long! – he defended his point of view. – And what they said makes sense! To cure a love, just get another one!“Mark, my dear,” Lucas interjected, eyeing Ethan's despondent profile. " I don't think this is the time for that.They looked at each other and wer

" And that! I need to organize myself, focus! And sex sure messes with my head! I know you may not understand this, but..."What I understand," he paused, that beautiful frown creeping in again. " is that he's trying to punish me somehow, and I don't know why...Why don't you love me? could have clarified.“But all I want is for you and the baby to be okay. So " now he was the one crossing his arms, in a clear posture that he was upset, but trying to contain himself. " again it will be your way, Alexis!What was she doing anyway? Now she didn't even want to have physical contact with him?Hell! Among so many women in the world, he only wanted that one, the queen of complications! But at least she was free of Amanda Shepherd.I wanted to hug her, tell her I was happy with the baby. I would love to touch your belly! But she didn't seem receptive to such contacts at the moment.But they shared the apartment. Who knows, maybe one day she'll change her mind. Their chemistry was undeniable,
So, presently, he found himself staring at the closed door! She had soon composed herself, whispered good night and disappeared behind the heavy wood.Ethan then laced his fingers behind the back of his head and climbed down. At least he knew she was safe. Her and her baby.Currently, as he sipped a shot of whiskey, he was smiling. Wow, he would be a father. He couldn't wait to share that news with his sister Lenah! She would jump for joy!Feeling exhausted, he took a good shower, in the bathroom right there, on the floor below. The day hadn't ended the way he wanted it to, but it was good for now. Soon he threw himself on the couch and fell asleep almost instantly.Meanwhile, Alexis fried in that huge bed! I was too agitated to fall asleep. He knew well what he needed; a hot, sweaty, long session of sex with Ethan! And that she would not have!" Oh God! Why did I propose this? " then hid her face under his pillow, inhaling his scent. “Because you want him in your life forever and not
It was just before noon. Norah called saying she couldn't have lunch, because the Cobra"Mor was infernal and had her busy. Alexis felt guilty. He knew it wasn't, but he still felt it.Then he made a sudden decision. After ordering a taxi, in less than half an hour I was in front of Ethan's office building. He had never been there before, and found the building luxurious and beautiful.Arriving at the third floor, she was surprised to see how many people worked there. Ethan had a large team, he could tell.He searched the room and found the door with his name on it. In front of her was the famous Mark, absorbed in the computer screen. Ethan spoke of him with great affection and respect. The best secretary in the world, he said." Hello! she called, making him look at her. “ Uh …I'd like to know…if Ethan's around?The boy examined her from head to toe, slowly, and then assumed a serious look:"Do you have an appointment?"Alexis made a face. Should I have called earlier?" No … But isn'
That was no surprise to her. He was tall, his unruly, wavy hair that fell over his sparsely bearded face in orderly disarray made him almost exotic among the uptight. He was manly, a really handsome man! It would be strange if it didn't draw attention.Alexis felt proud to be at his side."Are you just going to eat this?" He pointed at the plate full of vegetables." I found that's basically what I can handle!" A bunch of unseasoned greens! She was biting into a celery stick."Are you taking the medicine the doctor ordered?"“Yes, I started as soon as I bought them. And I noticed that it is in the morning that my stomach is a little more sensitive."And the doctor said it tends to get better with time."" I hope so.Ethan barely contained a sigh, in between a mouthful of his well"done steak. She seemed less tense that day. She still didn't speak very enthusiastically about the pregnancy or more deeply, but maybe that was normal. It had been one thud after another. He hoped that with t
Ethan had been pinned to the spot for a few minutes, admiring the beautiful landscape.Alexis lying on the huge bed, her legs dangling to the floor, a white towel barely covering her body… and she was asleep! It was the vision of paradise, which he would not have access to.He closed his eyes for a moment, and then again, roaming over that silky skin that he knew so well. The plush fabric revealed a portion of her full breast and the entire lateral length of her body, including a plump thigh.He would waste a few hours kissing every inch of that silky skin. But all he could do was settle her body comfortably, so she had a peaceful night's sleep. Something he definitely wouldn't have.Resigned, he approached the bed and his gaze lingered on her face. She looked tired but serene. It was so beautiful!He gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, scrutinizing her face, as if to burn it into his mind. Her skin was fair, her cheeks rosy, perhaps from her recent bath. The long, curv
